Epis. Church; Quest.; by B. D. Chambers." What the source supports That a list printed in 1921 reports an item of this title, a questionnaire by B. D. Chambers, for Clarke County. Uncertainty The Virginia Magazine list is a finding aid: it prints a title, the kind of item, sometimes a page count and an author, and nothing of what the item says or where it is kept. No claim here says what the questionnaire or report says. No page count is printed for this item. That the "Millwood Prot. Epis. Church" is Christ Church, Millwood rests on Gold's naming of Christ Church as the Episcopal church at Millwood and on the name of the author, who the Courier's text (not seen as an image here) calls rector of Christ Church; it is Likely, not Confirmed, and a page must not say the 1921 questionnaire "is" this church.

Date not established	Gold's 1914 history, on printed p. 64, in the list of rectors from the Nelson address, says of Bishop Meade "He gave up the charge of this church a year after Christ Church, Millwood, was built. In 1835 the vestry called the Rev. Horace Stringfellow"; "On the 9th of August, 1858, Rev. Joseph R. Jones accepted a call by the vestry to the Rectorship of the parish. He continued in charge until April 18th, 1881, when his resignation was tendered to the vestry and accepted"; and "Our present Rector, Rev. C. B. Bryan, having accepted a call to this parish preached his first sermon here on the first Sunday in August, 1881."	RECORD Likely	IDENTITY Likely"Christ Church, Millwood" is named, and the rectors listed are those of the parish whose old church was the Old Chapel; the page does not say the rectors served at Christ Church itself.

What the source supports That Gold's text lists the rectors of the parish from 1835 to the Rev. C. B. Bryan in 1881 and says Bishop Meade gave up the charge a year after Christ Church, Millwood, was built. Uncertainty Gold's 1914 history is a retrospective county history; for this chapter the church histories were written by local contributors, and no vestry book, deed or register was read here. Capt. William N. Nelson's historical address of 1897 (as Gold prints it) and the 1906 Old Chapel book print the same text, so they are one witness, not two. Nelson reads a vestry book that is not held here. The dates are the speaker's reading of the vestry minutes. The crop begins mid-sentence ("minister at the Old Chapel for twenty-five years"), and "He" in the first sentence is Bishop Meade, who is named on p. 63 and not in this crop.

Date not established	Gold's 1914 history, on printed p. 67, says "Christ Church, Millwood, was built in the year 1834. The lot of two acres on which it stands was given for the purpose of building the church by Mr. George Burwell, of Carter Hall," and quotes an 1832 vestry minute: "About this time the connection ceased between the Millwood—or Old Chapel—congregation and the Berryville and Wickliffe congregations."	RECORD Likely	IDENTITY Confirmed"Christ Church, Millwood" is named: Confirmed for the name and the 1834 date as Gold prints them. That it is the church the 1921 list calls "Millwood Prot. Epis. Church" is Likely (see {cx1}). CONTINUITY: The Millwood congregation ("or Old Chapel") became a separate body in 1832 and built Christ Church in 1834: Likely.

What the source supports That Gold's text says Christ Church, Millwood, was built in 1834 on a two-acre lot given by George Burwell of Carter Hall, and quotes an 1832 vestry minute on the Millwood congregation separating from Berryville and Wickliffe.

Date not established	Gold's 1914 history, on printed p. 68, says the deed for the lot "is dated April 18, 1832," quotes Bishop Meade as saying "In the year 1834 it was found that the Old Chapel was too small and inconvenient for the increasing congregation, and it was therefore determined to erect another and larger one in a more central and convenient place in the vicinity of Millwood, on ground given by Mr. George Burwell, of Carter Hall," and says "After the removal of the congregation to Christ Church, Millwood, the history of the 'Old Chapel' is little more than a record of those who, from time to time, have gone over to the great majority."	RECORD Likely	IDENTITY LikelyMeade's "another and larger one ... in the vicinity of Millwood" is Christ Church, Millwood, by Nelson's own sentence on the removal of the congregation: Confirmed that Nelson says so, Likely as history (no deed or vestry image). CONTINUITY: The congregation of the Old Chapel removed to Christ Church, Millwood, after 1834, leaving the chapel with alternate and then annual services and its graveyard: Likely, from Nelson (1897) and, without naming Christ Church, from Meade.

What the source supports That Gold's text gives the deed date, reports Meade on the decision of 1834 to build a larger church near Millwood, and says the congregation removed to Christ Church, Millwood. Uncertainty Gold's 1914 history is a retrospective county history; for this chapter the church histories were written by local contributors, and no vestry book, deed or register was read here. Capt. William N. Nelson's historical address of 1897 (as Gold prints it) and the 1906 Old Chapel book print the same text, so they are one witness, not two. Nelson reads a vestry book that is not held here. Gold's quotation of Meade is shorter and worded differently from Meade's own text on pp. 288-289 (it reads "the Old Chapel" where Meade has "the old chapel," and ends at "graveyard" where Meade continues), so it is read as Gold's version. Meade's own text does not name Christ Church; that the new church is Christ Church comes from Nelson's sentence on the removal of the congregation. The crop begins with the tail of the deed sentence from p. 67 ("trustees of the church"), and the closing quotation mark on the crop's last line has no opening mark in the crop.

What the source supports That the 1906 book says the man of this entry gave the land on which Christ Church, Millwood, now stands. Uncertainty The crop begins mid-entry and the page does not name the man: his name is on the previous printed page (p. 50), which was not read here.

What the source supports That Meade says the communion vessels of the Wycomico church are used at "the congregation and church at Millwood, in Clarke county," and that the parish about Millwood has been carved out of old Frederick parish. Uncertainty Meade does not call it Christ Church in this passage.

Same body or building?

Moved: Old Chapel, near Millwood CONTINUITY Likely Gold's 1914 history, on printed p. 67, says "Christ Church, Millwood, was built in the year 1834. The lot of two acres on which it stands was given for the purpose of building the church by Mr. George Burwell, of Carter Hall," and quotes an 1832 vestry minute: "About this time the connection ceased between the Millwood—or Old Chapel—congregation and the Berryville and Wickliffe congregations." Gold's 1914 history, on printed p. 68, says the deed for the lot "is dated April 18, 1832," quotes Bishop Meade as saying "In the year 1834 it was found that the Old Chapel was too small and inconvenient for the increasing congregation, and it was therefore determined to erect another and larger one in a more central and convenient place in the vicinity of Millwood, on ground given by Mr. George Burwell, of Carter Hall," and says "After the removal of the congregation to Christ Church, Millwood, the history of the 'Old Chapel' is little more than a record of those who, from time to time, have gone over to the great majority."
